The Muro das Nove Janellas, located in the Sete Cidades region on São Miguel Island in the Azores, is one of the island's most iconic landmarks, rich in history and significance. Built in the 18th century, this wall was originally constructed to demarcate agricultural properties and also serve as a retaining structure for the land on the slopes of the Sete Cidades crater. The wall is notable for its nine arched openings, known as "janellas" (windows). These "windows" are not traditional windows but openings designed to allow rainwater to pass through and to serve as ventilation points. The wall stretches across one of the most beautiful and photographed areas of the island, offering stunning views of the Sete Cidades lakes.
